"Based on what is known of the components of plant-based diets and
their effects from cohort studies, there is reason to believe that
vegetarian diets would have advantages in the treatment of type 2
diabetes. At present there are few data on vegetarian diets in diabetes
that do not in addition have weight loss or exercise components.
Nevertheless, the use of whole-grain or traditionally processed cereals
and legumes has been associated with improved glycemic control in both
diabetic and insulin-resistant individuals. Long-term cohort studies
have indicated that whole-grain consumption reduces the risk of both
type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In addition, nuts (eg,
almonds), viscous fibers (eg, fibers from oats and barley), soy
proteins, and plant sterols, which may be part of the vegetarian diet,
reduce serum lipids. In combination, these plant food components may
have a very significant impact on cardiovascular disease, one of the
major complications of diabetes. Furthermore, substituting soy or other
vegetable proteins for animal protein may also decrease renal
hyperfiltration, proteinuria, and renal acid load and in the long term
reduce the risk of developing renal disease in type 2 diabetes. The
vegetarian diet, therefore, contains a portfolio of natural products
and food forms of benefit for both the carbohydrate and lipid
abnormalities in diabetes. It is anticipated that their combined use in
vegetarian diets will produce very significant metabolic advantages for
the prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications."
